We thank you for the State of Texas and that you have brought us here so that we can work together on behalf of all the people who share this blessed land with us. As we talk and reason with one another, give us open hearts and open minds that we may seek the truth and that we may understand the truth when we find it. Help us to listen carefully to one another, to hear what is in the hearts and minds of our colleagues and our coworkers. Help us to honor that which we hear, and help us to respect the viewpoint of everyone who speaks. Help each one of us who takes part in our government to work diligently and to honor the tasks which have been committed into our hands. Help us not to be swayed by pride or by the desire for personal gain but help us rather to be guided by true compassion and by a genuine desire to do whatever is most helpful and most productive in every situation. In every negotiation that we pursue and in every decision that we make, help us to think clearly and to choose wisely. Let justice flow forth with every law we pass, and help us to build a society in which the power of love and working of your grace will bring hope and blessing into the lives of everyone with whom we share this blessed land. We ask these things in the name of the one who loves us most. Amen.

Representative Howard offered the following amendment to HB 1589:
Amend HB 1589 on third reading by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTIONS to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
SECTION ____. Subchapter B, Chapter 531, Government Code, is amended by adding Sections 531.0997 and 531.09971 to read as follows:
Sec. 531.0997. AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT OF CERTAIN WOMEN IN HEALTHY TEXAS WOMEN PROGRAM. (a) In this section, "Healthy Texas Women program" means a program operated by the commission that is substantially similar to the demonstration project operated under former Section 32.0248, Human Resources Code, and that is intended to expand access to preventive health and family planning services for women in this state.
(b) Subject to the eligibility requirements of the Healthy Texas Women program, the commission shall identify and automatically enroll in the program a woman who is a Medicaid recipient or enrollee in the child health plan program but who will lose eligibility for benefits under the applicable program because of the woman's age. The commission shall implement the automatic enrollment in a manner that:
(1) ensures a seamless transition in the provision of services between Medicaid or the child health plan program, as applicable, and the Healthy Texas Women program; and
(2) allows a woman to begin receiving services through the Healthy Texas Women program on the first day the woman is no longer eligible for Medicaid or the child health plan program, as applicable.
(c) The commission shall, at the time a woman is automatically enrolled under Subsection (b) in the Healthy Texas Women program:
(1) provide to the woman written notice that:
(A) she has been automatically enrolled in the program but may disenroll; and
(B) instructs the woman on how to disenroll from the program; and
(2) provide to the woman information about the program, including the services provided under the program.
(d) The executive commissioner shall adopt rules necessary to implement this section.
Sec. 531.09971. AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT OF CERTAIN WOMEN IN MEDICAID. (a) In this section, "Healthy Texas Women program" has the meaning assigned by Section 531.0997.
(b) The commission shall identify and automatically enroll in Medicaid a woman who:
(1) becomes pregnant while receiving services through the Healthy Texas Women program; and
(2) is eligible for Medicaid.
(c) The commission shall implement the automatic enrollment in a manner that:
(1) ensures a seamless transition in the provision of services between the Healthy Texas Women program and Medicaid; and
(2) allows a woman to begin receiving services through Medicaid on the first day the woman is enrolled in the program.
(d) The commission shall, at the time a woman is automatically enrolled under Subsection (b) in Medicaid:
(1) provide to the woman written notice that:
(A) she has been automatically enrolled in the program but may disenroll; and
(B) instructs the woman on how to disenroll from the program; and
(2) provide to the woman information about the program, including the services provided under the program.
(e) The executive commissioner shall adopt rules necessary to implement this section.
SECTION ____. The changes in law made by this Act apply to a woman who is a recipient of medical assistance under Chapter 32, Human Resources Code, benefits through the child health plan program under Chapter 62, Health and Safety Code, or services through the Healthy Texas Women program, on or after the effective date of this Act, regardless of the date on which eligibility for medical assistance, the child health plan program, or the Healthy Texas Women program was determined.

HB 191 ON THIRD READING
(by Stephenson, M. González, Stucky, and Anderson)
HB 191, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the disposal of pesticides.
HB 191 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Stickland raised a point of order against further consideration of HB 191 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules. The point of order was overruled and the speaker submitted the following ruling:
RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on House Bill 191
Announced in the House on April 17, 2019
(Goldman in the chair)
Representative Stickland raises a point of order against further consideration of HB 191 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules on the grounds that the caption is overly broad and fails to give reasonable notice of the subject of the bill.
The caption of the bill reads "relating to the disposal of pesticides." The bill adds a new section to the Agriculture Code that is entitled "DISPOSAL OF PESTICIDE" and authorizes the Department of Agriculture to organize pesticide waste and pesticide container collection activities statewide. The bill also creates a funding mechanism specifically for those activities.

Amendment No. 2 - Point of Order
Representative Israel raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 2 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The point of order was sustained and the speaker submitted the following ruling:
RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on Amendment No. 2 to House Bill 1177
Announced in the House on April 17, 2019
(Geren in the chair)
Representative Israel raises a point of order against further consideration of the Stickland Amendment to HB 1177 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.
In the opinion of the Chair, the subject of the bill is the authority for a person to carry a handgun without a license in limited circumstances while evacuating an area that has been declared a state of disaster. The amendment would effectively expand the circumstances under which a person could carry a handgun without a license in unknown and clearly broader circumstances than those embraced by the bill. 75 H. Jour. 1147 (1997). The amendment is therefore not germane.
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 2.
Amendment No. 3
Representative Stickland offered the following amendment to HB 1177:
Amend HB 1177 (house committee report) on page 1 of the bill, on lines 15 and 16, by striking "hours" and substituting "years".
Amendment No. 3 - Point of Order
Representative Israel raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 3 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The point of order was sustained and the speaker submitted the following ruling:
RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on Amendment No. 3 to House Bill 1177
Announced in the House on April 17, 2019
(Geren in the chair)
Representative Israel raises a point of order against further consideration of the Stickland Amendment to HB 1177 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.
In the opinion of the Chair, the subject of the bill is the authority for a person to carry a handgun without a license in limited circumstances while evacuating an area that has been declared a state of disaster. Similar to Amendment No. 2, this amendment would effectively expand the circumstances under which a person could carry a handgun without a license to monstrously broader circumstances than those embraced by the bill. 75 H. Jour. 1147 (1997). The amendment is therefore not germane.
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 3.
Amendment No. 4
Representative Stickland offered the following amendment to HB 1177:
Amend HB 1177 (house committee printing) on page 1 of the bill by striking lines 9-12 and substituting the following:
(A) evacuating from an area in which a state of disaster is declared under Section 418.014, Government Code, or a local state of disaster is declared under Section 418.108, Government Code; or
